Chapter 31: Darkness Strikes

After eating and drinking, I continued to hurry, but looking at the markers on the map, it would take two days to get beyond the markers, so I was speechless.

Li Rui suddenly stopped: "Do you think that if we go on like this, won't there be no result at all?" ”

So saying, he squatted down and found a dead branch and drew a picture on the ground.

"You see, we are starting from this point, there are at least three teams in each direction, everyone can see each other at first, but after walking out of a kilometer, the distance between each other is more than 100 zhang, you can try to extend the line in each other's direction, the farther it extends, the farther the distance between each other will be!"

Wang Yuan also squatted down and looked at the simple map: "Oh, there are many blank spaces between them that have not been explored, or in other words, there is a blank space in the middle that will become larger and larger as the distance continues to lengthen, if we continue to follow the previous route, I am afraid that there will be no progress in updating even if the secret realm ends, which may be the reason why so many senior brothers and sisters have not gained before." ”

Ji Yue nodded, agreeing with their point of view: "Then how do we choose to go and deviate from the current direction?" ”

Li Rui thought for a while and said, "Let's check the map, have you noticed that the previous senior brothers and sisters also had a record of deviating from the direction of exploration, and they did not completely follow the previous route." ”

Wang Yuan and Ji Yue both looked at the map and found that there were indeed exploration signs on the map that were different from those on the straight line, that is, when they couldn't go beyond the exploration line, the best choice was to explore the gaps that had not yet been explored.

The three unanimously agreed to choose a vacancy direction to explore.

After a quarter of an hour, the three of them finally realized that the greatest danger in this calm and crisis-free forest may be the silence itself.

It is like the polar region full of snow, if you walk in it for a long time, you will get snow blindness, and you will also be manic because of loneliness.

The three of them began to constantly look for topics to pass the tedious time, the trees in this forest are very different, but when you are in a place where there are trees all along, you will ignore the small differences between them, which is visually called convergent vision.

Gradually, their topic reached a certain saturation, and the three young children could have more topics, and there would be a time to finish, and gradually, they just kept walking, digging a stone to make a mark after a while.

After a few more hours of walking, the forest, which had not had much light, became even darker.

The trio, who had little experience in surviving in the wild, felt the subtle changes in light, coupled with the perception of time, and knew that it was time to find a place to rest.

The three of them had just set up their tent supports, and the darkness around them had completely filled in.

Whew, a flame floated up, it was the solid fuel that the senior sister gave them, similar to a candle, but the fire was even more intense.

"Have you noticed that this place is not normal, to be precise, this darkness is not normal." Li Rui said while grilling the food.

Wang Yuan looked at the darkness outside, and even the trees that were originally clearly visible were invisible, as far as the eye could see, there was darkness, and the darkness seemed to have turned into substance, and the fire they had set up could not even shine out of the big trees a zhang away.

Ji Yue also looked at the darkness around her, and she could even hear a subtle whisper: "There seems to be something talking in this darkness!" ”

Li Rui nodded, he tied a small piece of food with a soft rattan and threw it into the darkness a foot away, the sound of fine chewing came, Li Rui felt the rattan in his hand light, he gently pulled back the rattan, and the food on the other end of the rattan was eaten up, and even the bone residue was left.

When the other two saw this, they were horrified.

If, without the fire, they would be swallowed by this thick darkness, and there would be no scum left, and it would feel too terrifying to think about.

Li Rui looked at the rattan without the slightest damage and frowned, this is not scientific, the darkness devoured the food but did not devour the rattan, is it the existence of meat?

Seeing this, the three of them moved towards the fire again, as close to the fire as possible, if they accidentally fell into the dark, then they could play GG, and their hands left the keyboard to start the next game.

Ji Yue for the first time and two big ...... The little boy is still a little shy when he is together, which makes the two teenagers who have nothing to do with a big question mark in their heads.

"Senior brother, they didn't say that there would be such a dangerous existence here, it's not like 'no danger' at all." Li Rui said.

Ji Yue echoed: "Yes, senior sister, they also said that it is very quiet and safe here, and they have not mentioned anything about this dark thing. ”

Wang Yuan: "Then there must be something strange in this, what made them forget such a dangerous darkness, and what made them not mention it at all." ”

Thinking like this, the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, the more they thought about it, the more weird they felt, and goosebumps were several layers.

That night, they sat at the fire and waited for the darkness to reced, and spent the night in the whispers that came from the darkness.

Just waited until dawn, but fortunately, as monks, even if they couldn't use their true yuan power here, their spiritual power was strong enough that they wouldn't feel the slightest sleepiness if they didn't sleep.

The darkness slowly receded like a creature.

Li Rui put away the fuel, and the three of them began to explore the "no danger" forest under the day again.

After packing his luggage, Li Rui remembered the unscathed rattan last night, and in order to test what he was thinking, he took out the flying sword pinned to his waist, he didn't refine the flying sword, he could only carry it with him, so he could take out the flying sword, without the blessing of true yuan power, just a dagger that sharpened iron like clay.

He walked to a big tree, cut it with a sword, the cut of the big tree slowly flowed blood red liquid, took a little liquid with a flying sword, smelled it, there was a fishy smell of blood, glanced at the flying sword, threw away the blood, and the blood slowly sank into the soil.

Wang Yuan and Ji Yue saw the liquid flowing at the incision, but they didn't expect that there was blood flowing inside the tree.

Li Rui changed another tree, and when he went down with a sword, it was blood again, and he slashed several times in a row, with the same result.

"There's a big secret in this, it's just that they haven't talked about it, as if they've forgotten something."

Wang Yuan: "You mean that their memories have been erased?" ”

Li Rui poked the ground again, it was just dirt: "I can't say it, there is too little information, we have too little experience, erase the memory, ...... erase the memory"

Ji Yue: "My father...... My lord once erased people's memories, but they are mortals, and after erasing their memories, they will become stupid, as if something is missing in their heads. ”

Li Rui: "Erase the memory, mortals will have an impact, and the monk's influence will be even greater, after all, the monk's divine consciousness is damaged, and the cultivation will not be complete, but ......"

Wang Yuan: "But they didn't mention anything about the damage to their divine consciousness at all, not even at all. ”

Li Rui: "Then ......"
